Only the gravity is different. Air type, etc., is all the same.

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 19:43:43 GMTI find it fascinating how a state before the universe's existence is quite literally beyond our comprehension.

It is impossible for a human or any other being to imagine anything outside our universe... In particular, the empty space outside. No dark, no light. No idea what it looks like, no way to possibly know.

A bizarre rogue planet without a star is roaming the Milky Way just 20 light-years from the Sun. And according to a recently published study in The Astrophysical Journal, this strange, nomadic world has an incredibly powerful magnetic field that is some 4 million times stronger than Earth’s. Furthermore, it generates spectacular auroras that would put our own northern lights to shame.

Sat, 04 Aug 2018 08:21:31 GMT'After seven difficult years, a fine day for NASA and human spaceflight':

HOUSTON, Texas—For the first time since September 2010, NASA has named a new, All-American crew that will launch into space from the United States. In fact, the organization announced four of them on Friday, selecting the first two crews that will fly aboard SpaceX’s Dragon and Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft on their test and operational flights.

NASA celebrated the announcement with all the pomp and circumstance one would expect from an agency that has chafed under a spaceflight gap during which America has relied on Russia for human access to space. As they were announced Friday, each of the nine crew members exulted as he or she walked across the stage. Some raised their arms in triumph. Others pumped their fists. It was a cathartic day in Houston, Texas as a crowd of onlookers in a large auditorium cheered.

I have always loved NASA, i think it has contributed so much to all humanity over the years, that it just cheers me up no end to see they are so happy about something :)

Sure it could be great if it was Great Britian and not the USA doing this stuff, but i've seen Hyperdrive (tv series) so i know exactly what that would be like, and in truth space exploration deserves the biggest and best superpower to drive it. So as a patriotic (though now jaded) brit i just want to say "Go USA!" and be happy for the future vision of humanity they will help forge.
